The No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide punched their ticket to the College Football Playoff National Championship Game for the second consecutive season Saturday, as they defeated the No. 4 Washington Huskies, 24-7, in the Peach Bowl at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.
Bama improved its undefeated record to 14-0 due largely to its dominant defense, which forced three turnovers and limited the potent Huskies offense to just 194 total yards.
Sophomore running back Bo Scarbrough was the offensive star for the Tide, as he rushed for 180 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries, and wore down Washington's defense over the course of the contest.
